The most famous coffee producing area in Indonesia is Sumatra, where the well-known Mantenin coffee beans come from Sumatra. Qianjie has launched five kinds of Mantenin coffee beans with different flavors, including a gold mantenin. People often ask on the front street, is there any difference between this golden manning and ordinary mantenin? Compared with these two types of Mantenin coffee beans in Qianjie, Golden Mantenin has a cleaner and clearer flavor, and the sense of hierarchy will be richer than ordinary Mantenin. The biggest reason is that Golden Manning has been screened more than 3 times and the selected beans are more than 18, which makes the size of golden manning beans uniform, so the flavor will naturally be more balanced. So no matter from the appearance or taste, we can clearly tell the difference between golden manning and ordinary manning.

Starbucks has a Sumatran coffee, which has been on sale since 1972. Its rich earthy aroma and heavy mellowness are the unique flavor of Sumatran coffee, but Sumatran coffee is overroasted. Herbaceous taste and bitterness have been spreading in the mouth for a long time, which is why some people can't accept Sumatran coffee.

Sumatra coffee beans

Indonesia is located in southeastern Asia, and its coffee history dates back to 1696. Coffee farmers in the Netherlands tried to find a wider place to grow coffee and finally identified the Indonesian island of Java. After 30 years, Indonesia has laid a sufficient foundation in the coffee market.

Today, however, the representative of Indonesian coffee is Mantenin from Sumatra, which is not unexpected, because most of the Java coffee sold to Europe came from Sumatra. Manning is from Sumatra. So Sumatra can be said to be an important coffee producer in Indonesia.

Manning Coffee Story

Mantenin originally refers to the name of a tribe in Indonesia, but there is also a story about the name that turned into a coffee bean. When Japanese soldiers returned to Japan after colonization in Indonesia, they were obsessed with the local delicious coffee, so with the help of trading friends, they asked the locals to help collect high-quality coffee beans, including this Mantenin. The Japanese are very fond of this coffee bean, so they ask the name, because the commercial source is not convenient to disclose, the local people casually said "Mantenin", so Mantenin was mistakenly hit into a coffee bean.

The local people mentioned above are actually the bosses of Indonesia's PWN company (Pwani Coffee Company), which will be mentioned below.

Special treatment of Sumatran Coffee beans-- Wet planing method

Mantning mostly uses Sumatra's unique coffee bean treatment, the wet planing method. As the local weather is often dominated by Rain Water, with continuous typhoons, it is unable to achieve the good weather needed for the sun, and the local economy is not good, so it is also impossible to use the more expensive way of washing, thus giving rise to the wet planing method with local characteristics.

In the first stage, the peel and pulp were removed by a wooden peeling machine, and after fermentation for 3 hours, the moisture content was reduced to 30-50% of semi-dry and semi-wet.

In the second stage, the pectin and sheep skin were removed and the latter part of the drying process took 2-4 days, and the moisture content was reduced to 12-13%.

In addition to the conventional wet planing, there is also an old wet planing method. Coffee beans are first treated by ordinary wet planing, and then sealed in the warehouse for 2 to 3 years. The environment of the warehouse must be cool and ventilated, and the beans should be turned regularly to prevent mildew and corruption. During this period, the acidity of coffee beans will slowly weaken to sugar, and the color will become darker, mostly yellowish brown or dark brown. The mantenin coffee beans that use this treatment are also called old mantenin coffee beans.

Wet planing has created a special flavor of Manning, it can be said that Manning and wet ploughing is a binding relationship, but today's coffee market is no longer static, even if wet ploughing is a feature of Manning, there will be other treatments, such as the suntan manning of Wahanna Manor. The change of the treatment method is also required, adding other flavors on the basis of retaining the original flavor of coffee beans.

The difference between Manning and Golden Manning

Now the common and highly accepted varieties of Mantenin on the market are Lin Dong Manning and Golden Manning, and Lin Dong Mantenin is the most classic one.

[Lin Dong Manning]

Sumatran Coffee Lin Dong Manning

Producing area: Lindong producing area of Sumatra

Altitude: 1100-1600 m

Variety: iron pickup, Kaddura

Treatment method: wet planing method

Flavor: baked toast, nuts, caramel, pine, herbs

Lin Dong Mantenin is produced in the Lindong Mountains of north-central Sumatra, near Lake dopa. Lin Dong Manning is the regular version of Manning. Lin Dong Mantenin also uses the conventional wet planing method, which creates the characteristics of low sour taste and high mellow degree. However, the situation that will occur when using the wet planing method is that because the semi-hard and semi-soft wet raw beans are easily crushed when the pectin sheep skin is removed, the beans are crushed and split like sheep's hoof-shaped beans, commonly known as sheep's hoof beans, which are not defective beans. It can be said that Mantenin is a very prominent feature.

Lin Dong Mantning will not work hard on screening, the processing is not fine can easily lead to the instability of coffee beans, but it does not detract from the world's love for its mellow flavor.

The top leaf of the iron pickup is bronzed, the bean body is oval or thin, and the flavor is elegant, but the physique is weak, the disease resistance is poor and the fruit yield is low. In addition to Mantenin coffee beans, several other coffee beans in front of the street, such as the Blue Mountains of Jamaica and Kona of Hawaii, are iron pickups.

Kaddura, a natural variety of Arabica Bourbon, was discovered in Brazil in 1937. Its tree is not as tall as bourbon and smaller. Due to inheriting the blood of bourbon, the disease resistance is relatively weak, but the yield is higher than that of bourbon.

[Golden Manning]

Sumatran Coffee Gold Manning

Producing area: Aceh Jiayu Mountain in Sumatra

Altitude: 1100-1600 m

Variety: Ateng

Grade: G1, 3 times hand selection

Treatment method: wet planing method

Flavor: spices, herbs, caramel, pine, nuts, chocolate

Since the discovery of Mantenin, the Japanese have been very attentive to this coffee bean, and in the process of cooperation with local raw bean merchants, they have developed a strict screening system. After the processed raw beans have been screened by density color separation, they have to pick up the beans manually many times. Finally, it presents a Mantenin with uniform color and uniform bean shape. It is said that when dealing with raw beans, the sunlit mantenin gives off a golden luster, so it is named golden manning.

The specification of Gold Manning is more than 18 mesh, and there are less than 3 defective beans (300g raw bean samples). It belongs to the highest grade G1, the color is dark green, and it is a neat flat bean. After strict screening, Golden Manning not only does not have the unique soil flavor of ordinary Manning, but also tastes cleaner and brighter, and the fragrance and sweetness is stronger.

However, the registration of gold manning as a trademark is not a Japanese company, but PWN (Pwani Coffee Company), an Indonesian local company that partnered with Japanese companies to export Mantenin coffee beans, while Japanese companies are registered as "Gold Top Mandheling", that is, Dingshang Gold Mantenin. In fact, there is little difference in flavor performance between the two, but due to different brands and different marketing strategies, it is also possible to lead to a change in public opinion, so it depends on which of the two gold manning is better.

Ateng is a hybrid between Arabica and Robusta, which has several subtypes and is widely cultivated in Sumatra and other Indonesian islands. To put it bluntly, it is a branch of Catimor (Katim). Ateng is a local name.

The two Mantenin coffee beans are cooked in front of the street, and the cooking parameters are unified as far as possible.

Filter cup: Kono filter cup

Water temperature: 88 ℃

Amount of powder: 15g

Powder / water ratio: 1:15

Degree of grinding: 20 standard screen pass rate 70-75%

* the reason for choosing the Kono filter cup: the Kono filter cup has few ribs and is located at the low end, and the filter paper is attached to the filter cup, which can limit the airflow to increase the contact time between water and coffee powder, so that the coffee powder can be fully extracted and enhance the mellow taste.

Qianjie uses staged extraction, steaming with 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, small flow injecting water around the circle to 125 grams for segments, water level dropping to 225 grams when the powder bed is about to be exposed, filter cup removed when the water level is about to expose the powder bed, (steaming starting time) extraction time is 2 minutes 39 percent 00 ".
